Definitions

  • This application relates to chemical oxygen generator systems, and more particularly to chemical oxygen generator systems with oxygen supply for short and long duration.
  • Oxygen sources for production and provision of breathable oxygen are generally used in a variety of applications and industries, including but not limited to aircraft, breathing apparatus for firefighters and mine rescue crews and the like, submarines, and any application where a compact emergency oxygen generator is needed.
  • Oxygen can be produced in many different ways. In cases of emergencies in aircrafts, aircraft passengers need to be supplied with emergency oxygen in order to be protected from pressure drops of the aircraft cabin pressure.
  • the emergency oxygen may be provided by chemical oxygen generators, where the oxygen is generated by high-temperature decomposition of a chemical oxygen core.
  • a problem associated with such chemical oxygen generators is that in addition to composition of the chemical oxygen core, external environmental influences like cabin pressure, vibrations, and cabin temperature may significantly influence the speed of the chemical reaction, which may result in too much or too little oxygen being produced in the chemical oxygen generator. Particularly in an emergency situation the cabin temperature and cabin pressure may significantly vary, which may affect the speed of the chemical reaction and the amount of oxygen produced per time unit. For example, a chemical oxygen core at an increased temperature may produce oxygen for a shorter duration of time compared to a chemical oxygen core at a decreased temperature, while the chemical oxygen core at the decreased temperature may have a decreased oxygen flow compared to the chemical oxygen core at the increased temperature.
  • a chemical oxygen core subjected to increased vibrations may have a reduced oxygen flow compared to a chemical core subjected to decreased vibrations.
  • the speed of the chemical reaction and thus the amount of oxygen produced per time unit may depend on the age of the chemical oxygen core and further depend on manufacturing effects of the chemical oxygen core. Such effects may further influence the amount of oxygen produced per time unit in the chemical reaction. All these internal and external effects may adversely affect the oxygen production and result in insufficient delivery of oxygen or insufficient delivery time of oxygen. Therefore, there is a need for a chemical oxygen generator that produces a sufficient amount of oxygen at different environmental conditions with the required oxygen flow, duration, and breathing gas purity.
